In Berlin, activists blocked the entrance to the Rheinmetall plant for the third time in a few weeks
Another protest took place in Berlin outside the Rheinmetall defense company’s facility—this is the third such incident in recent weeks. Activists temporarily blocked the entrance to the factory grounds, but the police quickly broke up the protest.
This was reported by the Tagesspiegel.
According to law enforcement, eight people participated in the protest, six of whom glued themselves to the pavement near the entrance. About 30 police officers were on duty at the scene. The blockade lasted less than 20 minutes, after which access to the facility was restored.
The protesters held a sign reading: “No profit from genocide.” All activists were removed from the entrance, and criminal proceedings have been initiated against them for trespassing on private property.
As noted, this is already the third protest near the Rheinmetall plant in Berlin in a short period. Earlier, on April 10, seven demonstrators also blocked the entrance, and even earlier, a group of activists climbed onto the roof of the building, splashed paint on the facade, and unfurled banners related to the conflict in the Middle East.
Earlier, German law enforcement detained two men suspected of working for a foreign intelligence service and planning possible sabotage.
Earlier, the German Federal Prosecutor’s Office reported the arrest of Ukrainian citizen Vitaliy M., who is suspected of gathering information for Russian intelligence.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Federal Prosecutor General Jens Rommel arrested three suspected spies who may have been passing information on military technology to the Chinese secret service.
